According to the Centers for Disease Control, accidents and injuries result in the most deaths for people aged 1 to 44 years of age. The cost of these injuries to victims and families is considerable. In 2005 alone, personal injury expenses cost individuals $406 billion in medical bills and missed time on the job. Motor vehicle accidents accounted for 20% of these injuries, while falls accounted for another 20%. Younger people are most affected by motor vehicle accidents, with these accidents being the leading cause of death in individuals between the ages of 5 and 34.
When accidents happen, victims and families suffer. Medical expenses can be immense, time missed on the job can put a strain on family finances, and there may be many more unknowns including questions about the future. Injuries can affect a person’s ability to work and can cause major lifestyle changes for some. Adjusting to life following a major injury can be stressful and difficult for everyone affected. The stress is compounded by the sad fact, that for many individuals who have been injured due to no fault of their own, these expenses and hardships could have been easily prevented had negligent individuals taken due care and caution. For instance, when automobile drivers speed, drink and drive, or fail to follow the rules of the road, accidents can take place, with tragic consequences for everyone involved. When drivers fail to show due caution, the law affords victims of personal injuries the right to seek compensation for their medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Suing for personal injury can seem like an overwhelming process at first. Determining the value of an injury, negotiating claims, and litigating claims when necessary, is often a complex process. We represent only personal injury victims and are willing to evaluate what happened to you to see if you are entitled to compensation and if we believe we can get you the compensation you deserve. Our Miami personal injury lawyers look forward to the opportunity to evaluate your car crash or other accident case to see what we can do for you.

Long story short... I was in Islamorada at a stoplight on my motorcycle and I was rear-ended by a distracted driver. I broke my leg, tore my meniscus, MCL and LCL tears, lost two fingers, lost my bike and my entire life changed after that moment. Because we winter in Florida and actually live up...

Welcome to Wolfson & Leon. I am Jonah Wolfson and we are a Florida personal injury law firm representing people in all parts of personal injury, car accident, slip and fall, wrongful death, and medical malpractice cases. I want to tell you a little bit about what we do here at Wolfson & Leon.
We handle cases from initial investigation through settlement or trial and even appeal if needed. That means that we will be there for you from the first day to the last. The minute you call us, we will work to get the evidence needed to support your case. If needed, we do public records requests, get statements, take photographs, and investigate your case to get the supporting information we may need. And we will move your case as fast as we can. Sometimes, a case can be settled quickly. Other times, your car accident or slip and fall case needs to have a lawsuit filed in a Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Fort Myers or Palm Beach Courthouse. We will do that. And, if it can be settled before trial to your satisfaction, that will be done. If not, we will go to trial for you and even appeal if necessary.
We also accept litigation and trial referrals from other attorneys. Some of those lawyers are tremendous lawyers who litigate themselves and get great results on their own accord. Others do not practice personal injury and want to co-counsel a case to learn something. And others simply do not like to go to court.
If you hire us, you do not need to pay us while your case is ongoing. Our fee is taken out of any possible recovery. As the case progresses, we even pay the costs like the filing fee, deposition transcripts, copy costs, parking for hearings, expert fees, and anything we need to spend to move your case forward. These costs can range from hundreds of dollars in cases that settle pre-suit to thousands of dollars in litigation cases to tens and even hundreds of thousands of dollars in larger car accident and medical malpractice cases. After all of that, if we are not able to recover money for you, then you do not owe us anything.
When we take your case, we will tell you how long we think it will take. Your case can take weeks to resolve to years. But we will sit with you and give you an estimate on how long it will take.
We look forward to speaking with you about your car accident, slip and fall, or general personal injury case. We understand that it could be difficult to call a lawyer about something emotional and personal. We will be sensitive to that and work with you to figure out what the best course of conduct is. Feel free to look through our website and see more information about our personal injury lawyers. You can review our results and reviews. But if you want to talk to me personally, call (305) 285-1115 and I look forward to speaking with you. Call us for a free initial consultation.
